Barbara Waltersisn't retiring . . . at least not today! The View returned Monday, April 1, after a two-week break, and the veteran TV news personality used the opportunity to address rumors that surfaced last week claiming she's ending her more than 50-year career.

"There were many reports last week that I was retiring from ABC and there was an assumption that I would be making an announcement today. The paparazzi were outside my home today . . . however, here I am, and I have no announcement to make," Walters, 83, said on the show to the applause of the audience.
